An object-to-shape board shows how a source object informs a character without pretending the two are identical. It helps a museum project team choose the feature that should survive the translation.
Keep source and proposal separate
Place the approved object reference on one side and the proposed character direction on the other. Label which outline, proportion or detail is being explored. Real catalogue images can demonstrate a shape approach, but they are not evidence of a museum commission.
Limit the first decision
Ask whether the proposed cue is clear enough to develop. Leave material, size and construction questions for the appropriate proposal and sample review. Do not write a historical explanation from an image alone.
Retain the museum team's accepted source description with the brief. Later marketing copy should use that reviewed information rather than a more elaborate story invented during visual exploration.
